So many clients book sessions after seeing number sequences, signs and other synchronicities. They want to know if they’re “crazy” for believing in things not yet seen based on repeat numbers, dreams or coincidences. I usually say something like, “No, you’re not crazy, but interpretation is key. Let’s explore.” I include here the most frequent number “meanings” I encounter, based on 17 years as a medical intuitive and synchronicity guide. Individual results can vary, as the whole picture remains important, but this list will give you a good start:

Repeating 1’s tell you to watch your thoughts because you’re in a manifestation gateway. If you like your thoughts, great! If the 111’s occur with negative thoughts, explore your fears to see if making adjustments now will troubleshoot and strengthen the overall feeling of your intention. If you seek liberation, joy, or success, lean into those feelings as primary rather than any details you can’t logically work out. Align your thoughts with the way you want to feel, since your feelings about something = your lived experience. The details will sort themselves. 11:11 says things are moving in the direction of your thoughts. Make sure those thoughts align with what you hope to feel! Affirmation: “I use the power of my mind to delight my soul.”

Repeating 2’s represent seeds, partnerships and encouragement to keep the faith, keep proceeding. Don’t dig up the planted seed while it’s sprouting underground. Don’t pop your souffle by opening the oven door too soon. If you need to distract yourself with a different project or some relaxation, go right ahead. Things are working behind the scenes. Resist the urge to rip away the veil too soon. Affirmation: “I am always in the right place, at the right time, doing the right things.”

Repeating 3’s connect body, mind and spirit. Pay attention to all three factors. When looking at any perceived dichotomy, ask to find the third option. Invite Divine Awareness, Holy Spirit, the Light of Truth — whatever you want to call it, into the black-or-white situation. Affirmation: “I let go and let God.”

Repeating 5’s indicate big changes on the way. Even good changes can feel stressful, so prepare yourself for shifts. When you see 555’s, get focused on what you do want instead of repeating all the things you don’t want. If you feel frustrated at the slowness of changes, know that they are coming. If you’ve wanted out of something, put whatever things in place you’ll need for when that something falls away. Affirmation: (The Serenity Prayer) “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

Repeating 6’s suggest too much focus on the physical world and tangible results. Get grounded in Nature. Take a walk, hug a tree, spend time with animals … but let your imagination soar. Wide, tall trees require deep roots. Address any lagging physical details and body care, instead of worrying if your biggest goals haven’t yet manifested in physical form. If you feel negative towards the body, Nature, money or the physical realm, take small, tangible steps to nurture the body, Nature, your finances, and seek the spiritual within the physical. Affirmation: “Like a mighty tree, I spread my roots deep and wide. I welcome the fruits of my labor and the sweet gifts of life.”

Repeating 7’s validate your inner magic and the enlightened path. Things are working in your favor in an almost unbelievable way. Honor the Faeries and express gratitude for signs and synchronicities. You are on the right path, and something much bigger is working through your life. Your journey will inspire others. Affirmation: “Magic flows through me and around me. I am grateful.”

Repeating 8’s suggest good luck surrounds you, especially with regard to finances. The number eight also represents infinity, infinite abundance, and infinite power to move through any obstacles. Affirmation: “Wealth. Success. Wealth. Success. I am a money magnet.”

Repeating 9’s tell you a cycle is nearing or at completion. As Joseph Campbell said, “You must give up the life you planned in order to have the life that is waiting for you.” Honor the past, but do lay it to rest, so you can move and grow. Affirmation: “I surrender and release that which no longer serves.”

1234 or 12:34 announces that things are “movin’ right along!” J.R.R. Tolkien said, “Little by little, one travels far.” Affirmation: “Keep up the good work.”

NON-NUMBER SIGNS AND SYNCHRONICITIES

I also want to remind everyone that signs and synchronicities come in all shapes and sizes. Number sequences represent just one of the ways the Divinely Alive Universe interacts with us. Dreams (waking or asleep), coincidences, and unbidden fantasies all convey information, often on multiple levels at the same time. If you catch yourself fixating on one, rigid interpretation, just remember to affirm: “If not this, then something better.” Leave room for wonderful possibilities you haven’t yet considered.

REPEAT TAROT OR ORACLE CARDS

You might have noticed that whenever you ask a question and pull a card, you keep getting the same answer. That seems positive for most people, until they get obsessive and keep pulling and pulling cards for the same question. Eventually, the “answers” start messing with you, almost like a test of faith. In this case, the cards suggest putting aside your question. If you cannot do that, then ask someone not attached to the answers. Oftentimes that person pulls your original card(s)!

Bottom line: the wisdom resides in and flows through you. Cards, signs, synchronicities, dreams, number sequences are all external. Do you believe in a benevolent universe? Do you pray? Prayer works, but it can work in mysterious ways. Ditto divination. All time exists right here, right now. Even the “worst” signs, cards and Divine smacks upside the head can help you shift course to a more positive lived experience. If you knew everything in advance every time, wouldn’t life feel a bit …

BORING?!

Whenever you see repeated numbers, signs and synchronicities, yes, they do mean something. But you are the one who lives the meaning. You make the choices that create your life. John Milton said, “The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven.” You don’t need future external events to happen in order to start living more positive experiences right now. What’s right with you, right now? Start there.
